Art Basel Miami

I've just returned from a week at the annual Art Basel Miami Art Fair and what a week it was.

20 separate fairs showcasing everything from the big names: Picaso, Braque, Chuck Close, Richard Prince, and Henry Moore, to the young and upcoming artists from every part of the world. There were individual fairs dedicated to graffiti art, contemporary Asian art, environments, and sculpture, etc. Art Dealers from Buenos Aires, San Diego, New York, Madrid… you name it, were buying, selling and showcasing.

And the people watching… don't get me started, let's just call it "a show". This is a place to be, and to strut your stuff.

Needless to say, I enjoyed myself for what has become an annual pilgrimage.

I was lucky to have my artist, Mark T. Smith as my wing man for the week's festivities. Mark's studio is in Miami and he is a font of knowledge about where to go and see the most interesting art as well as what to do after dark.

If you love art and need a break in early December, come down to Miami to take the pulse of the current art market.
